I can confirm that a Perlick 630SS faucet is compatible with a Nukatap tower shank (D1586). The Nukatap tower shank is slightly shorter than the Perlick tower shank, however it is imperceptible on the tower unless you’re specifically looking for it. The most amazing thing is that this...

I was able to purchase a Nukatap Tower Shank on sale for only $5.99 at Williams Brewing. I’ll swing by their San Leandro, CA store later this week to pick it up. I’ll still give Perlick a call this coming week as well, as I would prefer to keep the hardware homogeneous.

I purchased a three-tap Perlick tower a decade back and found that the bottom of the three taps had a leak. At the time, because the tap was underneath the two, I simply avoided using it. I had assumed that there was something that was loose and upon a rebuild I would explore the issue. That...

Thank you for taking the time to write this up. This saved me a lot of work and helped me discover a new, local company to boot! I can confirm, that nine years after this post was made, the company is still in business and the parts list is still valid. In 2013 the set above goes for about...

I recently purchased a RAPT Pill hydrometer. Having the fermentation revealed in detail to me completely transformed my fermentation experience. It instantly became my favorite brewing tool. I used to poke at my fermenter with anxiety for the first few days to see if anything was happening...

Fantastic! Let me know how that system works for you. As far as I know FastFerment doesn’t sell a lid without a hole. I purchased a small rubber plug that keep in mine when I have the airlock off for sampling. I use commercial pipettes to pull out small samples for the hydrometer while...

I went back to my brew notes and realised that this particular batch was stuck for several weeks. To restart the process, and to experiment with something new, I added Beano. I strongly suspect that over several months In the keg, the conversion of complex to simple sugars continued, resulting...

I brewed a (stubborn) pale ale in Jan 2020 (referenced in this thread). I left the beer to ferment for several months due to work travel, finally transferring the beer from a conical to a Sanke keg at the end of Apr 2002. With the distractions of COVID-19, the beer remained in a keg in my...

Morgan Territory Motorboatin’ IPA. Due to the pandemic, they had a sale with 19 L (5 gal) kegs at half price ($50). We have gone through two kegs of Moon Time IPA and are working on Motorboatin’ IPA over the past few weeks. We also had a shipment of various beers delivered from them through...

This is a great idea, going through the airlock hole! I currently have to take a lid off and lower my hand with a plastic dropper into the liquid. I’ll give these a try.

Do you recommend one pipette over another? Is there an Amazon link (or similar) that you could share? Just this week, I had to dip an eye dropper into a conical as the sample port had become clogged. I figured it was time for a pipette.

Oh my. I looked up my order and it’s actually 10 pieces of DS18B20 for $14. So I bought 20 of them thinking it was two. Thus their price is $1.40 apiece. I have thermometers, people. I shall measure everything. I updated my predicted cost per unit in the post above to reflect the lower...

Mine were $14 for a pack of 2. The price is just right out. My approach was to buy the minimum possible of the more expensive parts to get this project going ASAP and then source the full build list cheaper on a site like Digikey. The end goal being to create a more affordable list (or kit)...

I just purchased all the parts from the links provided on the opensourcedistilling.com website here. I used a combination of Amazon and eBay sources, spending a total of $132 on the board and parts. I (almost) have sufficient parts to build five units. (I need to spend an additional $12 to...

Luscious. Let the experiment begin.

Hit it with some Beano. At worst the beer is on the dry side.

I was reading a ten-year-old HomeBrewTalk (HBT) thread and a user referenced a BrewWiki.com page. After a short visit, I was impressed. In order to make contributions, I attempted to create an account, however discovered it was no longer possible. After some digging around it looks like the...

Do you happen to have a link to the parts list that would work with your board? Edit: I found it on your website with many other useful resources. Thanks!

I am a few weeks away from purchasing the a DigiMash and am interested in adding a pump as well. Which pump did you buy and how did you route the hoses?

There are only 4 days to go until the Science of Brewing class on edX begins on 24 Feb 2020. See the first post for details.
